Abstract

The present paper intends to lay out an interpretation about the Strategic Plans developed in Rosario City (located in the south of Santa Fe province, Argentina) in 1998 and 2008. Our research concerning the city should be understood in the context of contemporary urban studies and its leading exponents in Latin America. The method of our choice has been to compare both strategic plans and inquire for the conditions of its emergence through two of the most important papers in the city. Finally, we would like to conclude, based on the correlations between social imaginary and public space, the city has endorsed a depiction of itself centered on its proximity to the river and the use of that benefit from de citizens.
